Vaja has been making stylish leather cases for electronic devices for a long time, and a laptop like the MacBook Air (that fits into a manila envelope sleeve) obviously needs some too. Here’s the iVolution case, ready to protect your precious machine in style.

Okay, how could I not mention the iPhone 3G today? If you’re one of those who haven’t been constantly refreshing Mac-related websites today I could just mention that as of July 11 you’ll be able to buy an 8GB iPhone for $199 ($300 for the 16GB model) and it’ll feature real GPS, 3G (about three times the speed of EDGE) as well as better battery life (300 hours standby, 10 hours talking in 2G, half in 3G, 5-6 hours browsing, 7 hours of video watching or 24 hours of music).
Check out the first iPhone 3G tv ad below:
The 8GB model will only be available with the black plastic backside while the 16GB model will be available with both white and black backs:

Here’s a rugged and protective iPhone case from Oakley. What might look like regular rubber is actually a mold of unobtainium® (the sure-grip mass Oakley normally use on their sunglasses to make sure they don’t fall off and yes, they’ve trademarked it).
While protecting your iPhone from daily abuse it sports an open face for the screen and full access to cord connections and controls.

Gold platen gadgets, the eternal symbol of questionable taste and too fat wallets. Over 20 people wanted iCandyPhones’ custom and unlocked 16GB iPhone in 24 carat gold bad enough for its eBay auction to generate a total of 69 bids, landing on $6,000. Sigh.

Not everyone is aware of the fact that Apple Inc. is 30 (+1) years old. Why not inform them? This tee from Insanely Great Tees shows the entire timeline, from the Apple I and Apple II in ‘76 and ‘77 to the MacBooks and iPhones of 2007.

Thodio sure isn’t the first company to try the wooden approach to iPod accessories, but despite its boring name there’s something about the iBox that intrigues me.
This solid, handcrafted iPod amp features a wooden, high gloss lacquered cabinet. The basic models are built in either oak, teak or mahogany but other woods can be used on request. The battery is rechargable and lasts for about 15 hours and the whole thing offers 2 x 25 watts output power.

The people over at the Dial-a-phone blog took a tour across London yesterday to check out the expected chaotic masses of iPhone craving customers just a couple of hours before the phone was due for launch at 6:02 pm.
Well, the crowds weren’t there. Actually, besides the iPhone ads in the windows all of the Phonehouse, O2 and Carphone Warehouse stores looked like nothing was about to happen. The Apple Store did have a waiting crowd though, about 15 people willing to fight the cold to be the first Brits to own a legal iPhone.
What’s up? Where’s the Jesus Phone fever? Didn’t the hype make it over the Atlantic? Did all the early-adopters get their units from elsewhere?
I wonder how it’ll look like when it launches in Sweden…

Is it just me or does the Triple Timer kitchen timer resemble a certain MP3 player? Well, I can imagine two reasons to get this $20 timer:
1) You want people to think you’ve actually bought a second iPod just to keep track of your cooking times.
2) You’re the kind of guy who likes to give fake gifts to your nephew, just to watch him cry when he realizes that he’s been fooled. Again.
Anway, if you want one you better get it before Apple’s lawyers spot it. Even though the scroll-wheel is becoming somewhat obsolete these days they eat companies that produces stuff like this for breakfast.
